Andrew Painter News
The Philadelphia Phillies will send right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow), the team's top pitching prospect and No. 32 overall in MLB, to the Arizona Fall League so that he can face live hitters before the offseason. Painter is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and started throwing off a mound back in July. The 21-year-old will be pitching in games for the first time in 2022. The former 13th overall pick in 2021 stands at 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds and should make his major-league debut at some point in 2025 if he can avoid the injury bug. Painter features a legitimate four-pitch mix on the mound with a fastball that can touch triple digits. He also has a two-seam fastball, a put-away slider and a curveball in his repertoire. Painter's size, stuff and feel for pitching has ace potential at the next level for the Phillies.

Andrew Painter Throws To Hitters
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) threw to live hitters for the first time on Wednesday against minor-leagues for the first time since having Tommy John surgery on July 24 of 2023. Painter sat at 97-98 mph with his fastball and hit 99 mph while throwing 15 pitches, according to the team. "They said it went very well," said manager Rob Thomson. "It was 15 pitches. If all goes well, he'll throw that 15 pitch-BP every three days, for the time being." Painter is scheduled to throw another live bullpen session on Saturday. The No. 2 prospect in the system, per MLB Pipeline, hasn't pitched in a game since March 1 of last year in spring training. The Phillies have said they aren't going to rush him, and the expectation is that Painter will not pitch in a big-league game until 2025. But when Painter does return, he has a legitimate chance to win a spot in the team's starting rotation.

Andrew Painter Throws Off Mound
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) has progressed to throwing off the mound for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in late July of 2023. It's big news for the No. 19 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Despite his progress, the right-hander isn't expected to return to game action until 2025. Painter, 21, was arguably the best pitcher on the farm in 2022, where he worked to a 1.56 ERA with 155 strikeouts in 103 1/3 innings between Single-A and Double-A. The right-hander will need to shake off the rust during his recovery, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Painter in Philadelphia in 2025. He should already be rostered in dynasty leagues, and those in redraft leagues should monitor him for the 2025 campaign.

Andrew Painter Not Expected To Pitch In 2024
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) isn't expected to pitch at all in 2024 after having Tommy John surgery last July. "Painter's rehab is going fine...He's just tossing at this point, which is where he should be. I don't really look for Andrew to pitch this year. I'm looking towards 2025. I guess you can always be surprised, but I don't want to put that pressure on him," president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. The 20-year-old could go on a rehab assignment in the minor leagues later this year, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the young hard-throwing hurler to pitch in the majors until 2025. Painter also missed all of the 2023 campaign, so the Phillies are going to take it slow with him and he'll surely be on a strict innings limit next year.

Andrew Painter Undergoing Tommy John Surgery
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles on his right elbow. Doctors recommended that Painter have Tommy John surgery last week, and that surgery will take place on Tuesday. It's a tough break for the 20-year-old right-hander, who is ranked as the team's top overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Painter is still worth stashing because of his immense upside in deep dynasty/keeper leagues, but fantasy managers that were holding onto him in deep redraft leagues in 2023 can officially cut bait. There's a chance that Painter won't even pitch at all next season, and if he does, it most likely won't be in the major leagues.

Surgery Recommended For Andrew Painter
The Philadelphia Phillies medical staff has recommended that pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) undergo right-elbow UCL reconstruction with ulnar-nerve transposition surgery. It's a bit of a surprise after recent test results showed that Painter's UCL was healing. The No. 8 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, will miss the rest of this year and most likely most of 2024 if he indeed has Tommy John surgery. The 20-year-old hard-throwing right-hander has a very promising future in Philadelphia's starting rotation, but this injury is certainly going to set him back some and put a damper on his dynasty/keeper status in fantasy for the time being. Fantasy managers that have been stashing Painter in deep redraft leagues can now drop him for another arm.

Andrew Painter Receives Good News
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) recently underwent tests after experiencing more discomfort in his right elbow. Luckily, the results revealed his partially torn UCL is healing, although the team will give him some time to rest before considering the next step in his rehab process. The 20-year-old is still not out of the woods just yet, especially since he's still sore. But the update is at least better than the obvious alternative, Tommy John surgery, which would have put Painter on the shelf for a long time.

Andrew Painter Experiencing More Elbow Discomfort
Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) is undergoing tests for right-elbow discomfort. Manager Rob Thomson said he couldn't reveal the specific testing and isn't sure when the results will be available. Painter dealt with some elbow stiffness earlier this week but managed to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. The 20-year-old right-hander obviously didn't recover well after that session and could be looking at an even longer absence as he tries to return from a partially torn UCL. Depending on what the tests show, Painter could need Tommy John surgery, which would keep him out for the rest of 2023 and likely most, if not all, of 2024. This could be a huge setback for the Phillies' top prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

Andrew Painter Throws Bullpen Session On Tuesday
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Andrew Painter (elbow) was able to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. The 20-year-old top prospect appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a UCL sprain. The next step would likely be for Painter to face live hitters in a batting practice session. It's uncertain when that is going to happen, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned. The expectation is that Painter is going to contribute on the Phillies roster at some point this season.

Andrew Painter Scheduled For A Friday Bullpen Session
Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter (elbow) is scheduled for another bullpen session on Friday, according to MLB.com. The club's top prospect has yet to throw a pitch in a game this season at any level after sustaining a sprained UCL and landing on the 60-day injured list before the campaign began. Fantasy managers should expect Painter to return at some point this season, and possibly make his Major League debut. The 20-year-old has big-time stuff and posted a 1.48 ERA with 155 punchouts across 103.2 innings last year between Single-A and Double-A. Fantasy managers should be excited about Painter's arrival, especially those in dynasty leagues.
